Depends on how much you want to spend Daz. I have the DAS6-pro, and it's very good.

This is the full kit I bought:

It's worth it though Daz. I've used mine a couple of times now, and the results you can get with them are fantastic. You'll not get as smooth a finish as you can with a rotary, but you'll have a lot less chance of damaging the paint work in the process.

It is worth it, The machine you have ordered is great, my PC is ok but it is amazing how much better the das machine is.

Daz
